Vitality Biopharma (VBIO) is still one of the top three companies in the cannabis sector positioned to benefit tremendously from the continued passage of legislation legalizing marijuana-based compounds for medical use. Despite a share price that is showing a clear disconnect from competitors like GW Pharma (GWPH) and Arena Pharmaceuticals (ARNA), Vitality Biopharma (VBIO) continues to position itself for substantial growth opportunity in the next several quarters. As VBIO’s studies continue, the company is encouraged by both pre-clinical and case study data which suggest that Vitality Biopharma is well on track to create meaningful THC prodrug treatments for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Narcotic Bowel Syndrome (NBS).
Since 2014, retail investors continue to concentrate on stocks within the cannabis sector that are hoping to create shareholder value through the cultivation and sale of marijuana-based products. However, smart investors stay focused on more realistic value creation opportunities by focusing attention on stocks that are building an impressive intellectual property (IP) portfolio that will serve to protect their market position for the next two decades. Not only is VBIO creating value through the patent approval process, but they are also securing a dominant treatment position in treating severe inflammatory diseases that plague both pediatric and adult patients.
While two other companies, GW Pharma and Arena Pharmaceuticals are also well entrenched into delivering their unique cannabinoid compounds to treat various medical conditions, VBIO’s concentration is more tightly focused on bringing to market specialized cannabinoid products that target inflammatory diseases. Specifically, VBIO’s attention gets centered on treatments that demonstrate tangible and remission inducing responses in a market that is in need of curative treatment, instead of a symptom-only therapeutic drug. Thus, in addressing IBD and NBS specifically, VBIO will benefit not only from the significant barriers to entry for new competitors but will further enjoy product and market exclusivity in treating these diseases for the foreseeable future.
